Astros win woeful AL West division on final day of MLB regular season with Rangers loss

History was made in Major League Baseball as the Houston Astros secured the American League West crown despite finishing the regular season with a record at or below the breakeven mark. Entering the final slate of games tied with the Texas Rangers at 80-81, the Astros benefited from a head-local tiebreaker and watched the Rangers fall to the Minnesota Twins.

This bizarre finish marks the first time a division has been won by a team without a winning record, a campaign that previously saw the franchise dismiss their general manager in August. As the third seed in the postseason, Houston prepares to clash with the Chicago White Sox in the opening round.
